1972 - Bucuresti x6, Brasov x1

Sapte poze din 1972, sase din Bucuresti si una din Brasov. Mi-e greu sa decid care imi e preferata - Ateneul, strada Stavropoleos, sau casa roz. Inclin spre casa roz in stiulul neoromanesc (strada C A Rosetti colt cu Nicolae Golescu), probabil pentru ca celelalte scene sunt bine cunoscute si arata similar si astazi, dar casa roz e destul de departe de perioada sa de glorie. Un alt punct de interes reprezinta TV-urile din fata Casei Sfatului. Sunt din aceeasi serie (1964-1967), dar unul are stergatoarele montate deasupra parbrizului, celalalt nu. Ma intreb de ce...
Pozele suprind cam ultima perioada inainte sa domineze Dacia 1300 parcul auto romanesc. Cu doar trei ani mai tarziu, scena va fi foarte diferita.

Seven photos from 1972, six from Bucharest and one from Brasov. Difficult to say which is my favourite of the Athenaeum, Stavropoleos street, or the pink neo-Romanian house (corner of C A Rosetti and Nicolae Golescu streets); probably the latter, as it is not only less a well known building but one which is now rather far from its glory days. Another point of interest is the two TVs visible in the Brasov photo. Although from the same series (1964-67) the windscreen wipers are in completely different places, one above the windscreen, the other below it. I wonder why...
These are the last few years before the Romanian streetscene got taken over by the Dacia 1300; three years on, these photographs would have looked rather different.
